LEDs

LED's are gradually becoming the preferred choice for illumination in every aspect of illuminated signs. Originally developed for replacing the unreliable and unstable neon that was very popular in the 70's, LED's are now becoming so popular that they are starting to be used instead of fluorescent tubes.

There are two main reasons for this trend. Firstly the running costs which are initially more expensive upfront but over a long period of time they far outstrip the cost of changing and maintaining fluorescent tubes. Secondly is the reliability. They are practically maintenance free over many years which is a huge bonus when it comes to ongoing maintenance, repairs and man hours.
